Smile & Eat Comfortably With a Set of New Dentures

The evolution of dentures can be traced back thousands of years, to their invention around 2500 B.C. Today, these restorations are better than ever. You can expect your replacement teeth to fit better, feel better, and last longer than dentures from a few years ago. Dr. Keene and our team have used custom dentures to help many patients, and we can do the same for you. Isn't it time you enjoyed a beautiful smile again?

The type of dentures we recommend to you will depend on your situation and needs. Your options could include:

  • Conventional Full Dentures - You can replace full arches of teeth with this style of denture. They are designed to be removed easily for daily cleaning and care.
  • Conventional Partial Dentures - We may recommend a set of partials if you have several healthy teeth remaining. They will clasp onto your other teeth to stay in place.
  • Implant-Retained Dentures - For a stable and secure fit, we'll anchor your new teeth to a set of dental implants using a set of snaps and balls. Like conventional dentures, you can easily remove them for cleaning.
  • Implant-Supported Dentures - These teeth are designed to only be removed by a dentist. Simple brushing and flossing keeps them clean. They will attach to dental implants using a sturdy metal bar and are our most comfortable style of denture.
  • Temporary Dentures - We will fit you with temporaries to wear while your final restorations are being crafted by our lab partner.

Contact Keene Smiles today to schedule a consultation. Regain a complete smile and strong bite with dentures in Lafayette. We look forward to helping you smile brighter!

Frequently Asked Questions About Dentures

What types of dentures are available?

Dentures may include full dentures, partial dentures, or implant-supported options. The right type depends on how many teeth are missing and your oral health goals. Dr. Keene will help you determine which option will provide the best comfort, stability, and appearance for your specific needs and lifestyle.

Do dentures look natural?

Yes, modern dentures are designed to look natural and realistic. Advances in materials allow dentures to closely match the color, shape, and proportions of natural teeth. They also support your facial structure, which can help you maintain a more youthful and balanced appearance when smiling.

Are dentures comfortable to wear?

Dentures are made to fit comfortably, but it can take time to adjust. Modern designs focus on better fit and reduced irritation. Any soreness usually improves as your mouth adapts. Follow-up visits allow adjustments to improve comfort and help your dentures feel more natural during daily activities.

For decades, I had a trusted dental office with the most amazing hygienist. Well, the dentist, I trusted and the hygienist, both retired and the rest of that clinic I used to go to doesn't cut the mustard for me.

Quynh smiles feels like my new dental office. although I have only gotten a crown placed and one cleaning, I can say that the work is up to par with my current needs.

The office staff is professional, kind, courteous, knowledgeable, and responsive. Dr. Keene himself has great skill and for anyone needing a crown this is your guy. ONE STOP SHOP, he has the lab right there! For those of you who don't know what this means, it means that you leave with your permanent crown instead of the usual, 2 to 4 week wait with a temporary crown which often times falls out or has complication before the permanent crown gets sent back to your dentist.

Overall highly recommend this place.

My visit was scheduled to replace a crown. Although I was very nervous about the work that would be performed, the staff made me comfortable and the procedure was as pain-free as can be under the circumstances. Dr. Keene explained every step of the process. The technology he uses to make the same day crown is simply amazing. So happy I found his practice!
